Race Week Update: Swimmer’s Ear Gone, Sinus Cold is Here

Well the good news is that my Swimmer’s Ear actually healed up pretty quickly. Bad news is that some sort of allergy-induced sinus cold came on just as quickly. Yesterday(Wed) I had runny nose and sneezing and now this evening I am started to develop an annoying little cough. All this heading into my first race weekend of the season too.

I have managed to keep up with all my workouts this week, which were a lighter than normal with the upcoming race. The weather this week has been gorgeous too. It is a shame I cannot enjoy quite as much as I normally would had I felt better. The progression of this little cold is moving pretty quickly so hopefully it goes away just as fast.

Tomorrow will be a full day of packing up my gear and making any last checks on my bike before heading down to South Jersey for the race. Can’t imagine what the temperature of the water in the lake will be since it really hasn’t been that warm until the last couple days. Good thing I got my wetsuit to keep me toasty.

Will try to get some posts from the Jersey Shore before the race.
